THE  TORRENS  LAND  TITLE  SYSTEM. 

The  Torrens  System  is  a  system  of  registra- 
tion of  titles  which  has .  long  been  in  use  in 
England  and  in  some  of  her  Colonies  and  in 
fact  similar  systems  have  been  adopted  in  some 
other  parts  of  Europe. 

Under  this  system  as  practised  in  England 
and  her  colonies  they  register  titles  and  not  the 
evidences  of  titles,  such  as  are  registered  in 
the  office  of  the  Recorder  of  deeds  in  this  coun- 
try under  our  present  system. 

Under  our  system  we  register  all  the  written 
evidences  of  title. 

Under  the  act  recently  passed  by  our  Legisla- 
ture legalizing  the  Torrens  System  and  which 
:has  been  approved  by  a  vote  of  the  people  in 
Cook  County  and  now  in  force,  the  object  is  to 
examine  all  evidences  of  title  and  if  the  title  is 
found  good  lay  them  aside  and  register  the  Ti- 
tle itself  so  that  it  is  unnecessary  to  again  refer 
to  the  evidences  of  title. 

The  chief  merits  claimed  for  this  system  are 
that  the  Registrar's  office  at  all  times  shows  the 
true  condition  of  the  Title  and  not  simply  the 
evidences  of  such  title  which  would  be  subject 
to  litigation  at  any  time  and  it  provides  a  guar- 
antee to  every  purchaser  relying  upon  the  regis- 

5- 


TORRENB  LAND  TITLE 


tration  of  the  Title  and  he  is  not  required  to  go 
back  of  it. 

The  statement  upon  the  record  in  the  Regis- 
trar's office  may  not  be  true  but  under  this  Act 
there  is  a  guarantee  to  the  purchaser  relying  up- 
on such  statement  that  his  claim  of  ownership 
shall  never  be  impeached  and  if  the  real  owner 
is  deprived  of  his  rights  through  fraud  or  mis- 
take of  the  Registrar  his  loss  is  made  good  out 
of  the  indemnity  fund. 

Under  this  system  the  facility  of  transfer  and 
the  protection  to  the  purchaser  are  its  best  fea- 
tures and  it  does  away  with  the  ever  increasing 
cost  of  Abstracts  of  Title  and  the  expense  inci- 
dent to  examining  the  same  every  time  a  trans- 
fer is  made  or  a  loan  obtained  on  such  real  es- 


A  transfer  that  now  occupies  from  two  to 
three  weeks  in  its  consummation  may  after  land 
is  brought  under  this  act  be  consummated  in  as 
many  hours. 

In  the  simplest  forms  of  ownership  of  titles 
this  system  commends  itself  highly  to  the  pub- 
lic and  may  prove  of  great  service  to  the  owners 
of  property  who  are  continually  speculating  and 
buying  and  selling,  causing  frequent  transfers 
on  account  of  the  facility  of  transfer  and  th# 


tate. 


6 


TORRENS  LAND  TITLE 


feeling  of  security  which  the  purchaser  has 
when  he  receives  the  certificate  of  the  Regis- 
trar. It  is  done  quickly  and  so  far  as  the  pur- 
chaser is  concerned  is  safer  than  our  present 
system,  especially  if  he  is  careless  about  having 
his  title  examined  which  he  may  neglect  on  ac- 
count of  the  cost  of  such  examinations. 

The  theory  of  this  system  is  to  condense  all 
the  written  evidences  of  title,  so  that  one  page 
of  a  record  will  disclose  the  perfect  condition  of 
the  title  and  a  purchaser  relying  upon  such  rec- 
ord is  secure. 

The  registration  of  a  Title  is  a  complete  sys- 
tem of  land  transfers.  The  register  at  all  times 
shows  in  whom  the  Title  is  and  what  encum- 
brances and  charges  it  is  subject  to.  Before 
discussing  the  merits  of  the  system  further  and 
the  workings  thereof,  it  may  be  proper  to  state 
that  there  are  great  doubts  as  to'  the  constitu- 
tionality of  the  law.  The  Act  seems  to  confer 
judicial  power  upon  the  Registrar  and  the  law 
may  otherwise  be  defective  so  as  to  render  a 
practical  use  of  it  dangerous  to  property  owners 
until  the  Supreme  Court  has  passed  upon  its 
constitutionality. 

There  may  still  be  another  objection  to  the 
law  which  is  as  to  its  practical  working.  If  a  man 
7 


TOMEENS  LAND  TITLfi 


is  the  owner  in  fee  simple  of  land  without  any 
easements  or  servitudes  attached  and  is  other- 
wise  the  complete  owner  of  the  property  he  has 
a  title  such  as  the  Torrens  system  can  easily 
deal  with,  but  if  his  Title  is  subject,  as  it  may 
be,  to  any  charge  or  limitation  which  cannot  be 
shown  by  the  register's  certificate  it  is  quite 
another  thing  and  in  addition  to  these  there 
may  may  be  trusts  of  various  kinds,  family  set- 
tlements   etc.,   which    this  law  cannot  deal 
with  in  a  practical  way.    Such  estates  as  con- 
tingent remainders  or  estates  depending  upon 
contingencies  which  have  not  yet  happened  or 
which  may  never  happen  cannot  be  dealt  with 
in  a  practical  way.    It  may  be  said  that  these 
estates  are  unnecessary;  but  they  exist  never- 
less  and  always  have  existed  and  will  exist  in 
spite  of  the  Torrens  law. 

For  those  who  are  pleased  to  bring  their 
property  under  the  Torrens  act  and  reap  the 
benefits  thereof,  at  the  same  time  taking  the 
risk  of  its  few  disadvantages^  I  will  add  a  few 
suggestions  as  to  the  method  of  bringing  land 
under  the  act. 

An  owner  who  wishes  to  have  his  title  regis- 
tered may  make  an  application  in  writing  veri- 
fied by  his  affidavit  setting  forth  his  title  as  he 

8 


TORRENS  LAND  TITLE! 


understands  it  and  showing  the  facts  necessary 
to  be  known  for  the  registrar  to  pass  upon  his 
Title;  he  will  also  present  deeds  and  abstracts 
and  other  evidences  of  his  Title  which  he  may 
have,  to  enable  the  examiner  to  determine 
whether  he  has  such  a  Title  as  he  has  set  out 
in  his  application. 

The  examination  necessarily  made  by  the  ex- 
aminers is  practically  the  same  as  the  examina- 
tion now  made  by  attorneys  in  case  of  sale  of 
property,but  the  owner  is  not  required  in  this  in- 
stance to  furnish  abstracts  of  Title  down  to  date 
but  the  examiner  will  be  required  to  examine  the 
records  in  the  Recorder's  office.  It  may,  how- 
ever, always  be  necessary  for  the  owner  to  fur- 
nish an  abstract  of  Title  down  to  the  date  of 
the  Great  Fire  in  1871,  as  the  Recorder's  office 
will  not  always  disclose  the  condition  of  Titles 
prior  to  that  date. 

In  case  the  examiner  finds  defects  in  the 
Title  that  can  be  removed  the  applicant  will  be 
given  time  to  remove  them.  If  the  defects  are 
not  removed  the  application  will  be  denied. 
The  applicant  may  remove  clouds  from  his  Title 
by  proceedings  in  Court  and  afterwards  renew 
his  application  and  have  his  land  brought  under 
the  act. 

9  # 


TORRENS  LAND  TITLE 


When  the  Title  is  found  to  be  in  the  applicant 
as  set  forth  in  his  application  the  registrar  issues 
a  certificate  in  duplicate,  one  part  of  which  is 
entered  in  a  book  known  as  the  "  Register  of 
Titles  "  and  the  other  is  delivered  to  the  owner. 
The  first  certificate  issued  on  such  land  has  lit- 
tle importance  besides  starting  the  running  of 
the  statute  of  limitation  prescribed  by  the  act, 
which  is  five  years,  during  which  time  any  ad- 
verse claimants  may  assert  their  rights  against 
the  property.  Persons  having  adverse  claims 
should  within  such  period  bring  them  to  the 
notice  of  the  registrar,  for,  when  the  five  years 
has  expired  nothing  can  disturb  the  Title. 

After  the  Registrar's  office  is  ready  for  opera- 
tion under  this  act,  parties  having  claims  against 
realty  in  Cook  County  which  are  not  matters 
of  record  should  attend  to  them  promptly  as 
they  may  have  no  actual  notice  that  any  partic- 
ular piece  of  realty  is  brought  under  the  act  and 
may  lose  their  rights. 

This  act  provides  an  indemnity  fund  to  indem- 
nify any  person  against  damage  whose  rights 
may  have  been  cut  off  through  mistake  of  the 
registrar  or  the  fraud  of  any  person  through 
which  he  is  damaged. 

The  fund  is  created  by  a  payment  of  one  tenth 

*>  10 


TORRENS  LAND  TITLE 


of  one  per  cent  of  the  value  of  the  property 
registered.  The  fee  of  the  registrar  to  be  paid 
at  the  time  of  riling  the  application  is  Fifteen 
Dollars  which  covers  all  fees  up  to.  the  time  of 
granting  the  certificate  of  Title  which  certificate 
of  Title  costs  Two  *  Dollars  in  addition.  For 
registering  each  transfer  Three  Dollars.  For 
recording  any  charges  against  the  estate  Three 
Dollars.  For  cancelling  any  such  charges  One 
Dollar. 

After  the  property  has  been  brought  under 
the  act,  transfers  thereof  may  be  made  by  deeds 
as  now.  In  the  case  of  mortgages  and  trust  deeds 
they  should  be  made  in  duplicate  as  the  origin- 
al is  always  kept  in  the  office  of  the  registrar 
and  the  duplicate  is  given  to  the  mortgagee. 

When  a  mortgage  is  paid  the  mortgagee  may 
execute  a  release  and  file  it  as  now.  Purchasers 
of  realty  brought  under  this  act  should  use 
proper  caution  to  avoid  being  imposed  upon  by 
sellers  claiming  to  have  a  certificate  of  Title 
signed  by  the  Recorder. 

The  act  passed  by  the  legislature  is  given  ver- 
batim on  pages  52  to  90.

AN  ACT  TO  REVISE    THE    LAW   IN    RELATION    TO  MECHANICS'

"WHEN  LIEN  GIVEN. 

I.    Be  it  enacted  by  the  People  of  the  State  of  Illinois, 
represented  in  the  General  Assembly,  That  any  person  who 
shall  by  any  contract  with  the  owner  of  a  lot  or  tract  of 
land,  or  with  one  whom  such  owner  has  authorized  or 
knowingly  permitted  to  improve  the  same,  furnish  or 
specially  manufacture  and  prepare  materials,  fixtures, 
apparatus  or  machinery  for  the  purpose  of,  or  in  building, 
altering,    repairing  or  ornamenting  any  house  or  other 
building,   walk,   driveway,   fence    or  improvement,  or 
appurtenance  thereto  on  such  lot,  or  connected  therewith 
and  upon,  over  or  under  a  sidewalk,  street  or  alley  ad- 
joining, or  fill  or  excavate  such  lot,  or  raise  or  lower  . 
any  house  thereon,  or  remove  any  house  thereto,  or  per- 
form services  as  an  architect  for  any  such  purpose,  or 
furnish  or  perform  "labor  or- services  as  superintendent, 
timekeeper,  or  otherwise  in  building,  altering,  repairing 
or  ornamenting  the  same,  or  furnish  materials,  fixtures 
apparatus,  machinery,  labor  or  services  on  the  order  of 
his  agent,  architect  or  superintendent  having  charge  of 
the   improvement   in  building,    altering,   repairing  or 
ornamenting  the  same,  shall  be  known  under  this  act  as 
a  contractor,  and  shall  have  a  lien  upon  the  whole  of  such 
tract  of  land  or  lot  and  upon  the  adjoining  or  adjacent 
lots  of  such  owner  constituting  the  same  premises  and 
occupied  or  used  in  connection  with  such  lot  as  a  place 
of  residence  or  business,  and  in  case  the  contract  be  en- 
tire and  relate  to  two  or  more  buildings  on  adjoining  or 
adjacent  lots  of  the  same  owner  upon  all  of  said  lots  and 
the  improvements  thereon,  for  the  amount  due  to  him  for 


MECHANICS'  LIEN  LAW 


17 


such  material,  fixtures,  apparatus,  machinery,  services 
or  labor,  and  interest  from  the  date  the  same  is  due. 

This  lien  shall  extend  to  an  estate  in  fee,  for  life,  for 
years,  or  any  other  estate,  or  any  right  of  redemption,  or 
other  interest  which  such  owner  may  have  in  the  lot  or 
land  at  the  time  of  making  such  contract  or  may  subse- 
quently acquire  therein,  and  as  to  the  improvements  for 
which  the  lien  is  claimed,  shall  be  superior  to  any  right 
of  dower  of  husband  or  wife  in  such  improvements. 
This  lien  shall  attach  as  of  the  date  of  the  contract,  but, 
as  against  or  to  the  prejudice  of  any  other  creditor, 
incumbrancer  or  purchaser  without  actual  or  constructive 
notice  of  such  contract,  the  lien  shall  not  attach  as  of  the 
date  of  the  contract,  unless  within  thirty  days  thereafter, 
the  contractor  shall  file  in  the  office  of  the  clerk  of  the 
circuit  court  of  the  county  in  which  such  improvement  is 
to  be  made,  a  statement,  giving  his  name  and  the  name 
of  the  owner  of  the  property,  what  his  contract  is  for,  the 
amount  to  be  paid,  a  description  of  the  property,  and 
the  date  when  delivery  of  materials  or  work  is  to  tye  com- 
pleted. If  such  statement  is  not  filed  within  the  "thirty 
days  named,  the  lien  shall  attach  from  the  date  the  same 
is  filed:  provided.  That  commencement  of  work  or  deliv- 
ery of  material  at  the  premises  by  any  contractor,  shall 
serve  the  same  purpose  as  the  filing  of  such  statement  or 
commencement  of  ^vork  by  all  parties  who  may  subse- 
quently furnish  or  specially  prepare  material  for,  or  per- 
form services  of  labor  in  the  construction  of  the  im- 
provement. 

.  The  lien  for  materials  bought,  specially  prepared  for 
or  delivered  at,  but  not  used  in  the  improvement,  shall  be 
second  to  the  lien  of  contractors  whose  material  was  used 
therein;  and  as  against  purchasers  and  incumbrancers  of 
such  real  estate,  who  become  such  without  actual  or  con- 


18

structive  notice  of  the  contract  for  materials,  the  lien 
shall  prevail  only  to  the  extent  of  the  value  of  the  mate- 
rials used. 

If  the  materials,  fixtures,  apparatus,  machinery,  labor 
or  services  were  furnished  under  a  contract  with  any  of 
the  persons  named  other  than  the  owner,  or  one  by  him 
authorized  to  make  such  contract,  the  owner  may  prevent 
such  lien  for  what  is  not  then  furnished  or  performed,  by 
giving  written  notice  to  the  person  furnishing  or  per- 
forming the  same  that  he  will  not  be  responsible  therefor. 

2.     MATERIAL,  ETC.,  FURNISHED  BY  MISTAKE. 

Any  person  furnishing  services,  labor  or  material 
for  the  erection  of  a  new  building  or  structure,  or  im- 
provement, but  by  mistake  upon  land  owned  by  another 
than  the  party  contracting  as  owner,  shall  have  a  lien, 
for  such  services,  labor  or  material  upon  such  building 
or  structure  or  imprisonment  (improvement)  and  the 
court,  in  the  enforcement  of  such  lien,  shall  order  and 
direct  such  building,  structure  or  improvement  to  be 
separately  sold  under  its  decree,  and  the  purchaser  may 
remove  the  same  within  such  reasonable  time  as  the  court 
may  fix. 

3.     MATERIAL — -LABOR  LAND  BELONGING  TO  MARRIED 

WOMEN. 

If  any  such  services  or  labor  are  performed  upon, 
or  materials  are  furnished  for,  lands  belonging  to  any 
married  woman,  with  her  knowledge  and  consent,  in  pur- 
suance of  a  contract  with  a  husband  of  such  married  wo- 
man, the  person  furnishing  sum  labor  or  materials  shall 
have  a  lien  upon  such  property  the  same  as  if  such  con- 
tract had  been  made  with  such  married  woman,  and  in 
case  the  title  to  such  lands  upon  which  improvements  are

19 


made  is  held  by  husband  and  wife  jointly  or  by  entire- 
ties, the  lien  given  by  this  act  shall  attach  to  such  lands 
and  improvements  if  the  improvements  be  made  in  pur- 
suance of  a  contract  with  both  of  them  or  in  pursuance 
of  a  contract  with  one  of  them  by  and  with  the  knowl- 
edge and  consent  of  the  other,  and  in  all  such  cases  no

shall  defeat  the  lien  given  by  this  act. 

4.     FAILURE  OF  OWNER  TO  PERFORM  A  CONTRACT. 

When  the  owner  of  the  land  shall  have  failed  to 
perform  his  part  of  the  contract  by  failing  to  pay  to  the 
contractor  moneys  justly  due  him  under  the  contract  at 
the  .time  when  the  same  should  have  been  paid,  or  has 
failed  to  perform  his  part  of  the  contract  in  any  other  man- 
ner, the  contractor  shall  not  be  held  liable  for  any  delay  on 
his  part  during  the  period  of,  or  caused  by  such  breach 
of  contract  on  the  part  of  the  owner,  and  if,  after  ten 
days'  notice  in  writing  by  the  contractor,  the  owner  shall' 
fail  to  comply  with  his  contract,  the  contractor  may  dis- 
continue the  work,  and  in  such  case  he  shall  be  entitled 
to  a  reasonable  compensation  for  as  much  thereof  as  has 
been  performed  in  proportion  to  the  price  stipulated  for 
the  whole,  and  such  damages  as  the  contractor  may  have 
sustained  by  reason  of  the  owner's  default,  and  the  court 
shall  adjust  his  claim  and  allow  him  a  lien  accordingly. 
In  such  case  the  party  selling  material  which  has  not 
been  used  shall  have  the  right  to  take  possession  of  and 
remove  the  same  if  he  so  elects.

spective amounts  of  such  bids  or  proposals,  and,  withm 
ten    days   after  the  same  are  accepted,  the  amount 
thereof,  and  if  any  contractor  shall  fail  to  so  notify  the 
owner  within  five  days  after  written  notice  to  so  do,  such 
owner  may  cancel  the  contract  with  such  contractor  by 
written  notice  of  such  cancellation,  and  the  lien  of  such 
contractor  shall  be  subject  to  the  liens  of  all  other  creait-

rights  to  liens  and  bind  themselves  to  perform  their  re- 
spective-subcontracts, services  or  labor,  nor  to  contract- 
ors whose  subcontractors  and  material  men  agree  to 
take  [them]  solely  for  payment,  nor  to  merchants  and 
dealers  in  materials  only. 

6.     UNDER  VERBAL  OR  WRITTEN  CONTRACT. 

If  the  work  is  done  or  materials  are  furnished  under 
a  verbal  contract,  no  lien  shall  be  had  by  virtue  of  this 
.  act  unless  the  work  shall  be  done  or  materials  furmshed

is  more  than  one  year  from  the  date  of  the  contract, 
unless  either  the  work  be  continued  up  to  the  date  for 
such  payment,  or  within  thirty  days  after  completion  the 
contractor  shall  file  in  the  office  of  the  circuit  clerk  of  the 
county  where  the  improvement  is  made,  a  statement

description  of  the  property  improved,  the  balance  due, 
and  the  date  for  the  final  payment,  which  statement 
shall  have  the  effect  and  stand  in  lieu  of  the  claim  for 
lien  hereinafter  provided  for. 

7.     ENFORCEMENT  OF   LIEN  CREDITORS  OR  INCUMBRANCERS, 

ETC.  TERMS  OE  CONTRACT— FILING  CLAIM. 

f  No  contractor  shall  be  allowed  to  enforce  such  lien 
as  against  or'  to  the  prejudice  of  any  other  creditor,  or 
incumbrancer,  or  purchaser,  unless,  within  four  months 
after  the  last  payment  shall  have  become  due  and  paya- 
ble, according  to  the  terms  of  the  original  contract,  he 
shall  either  bring  srfit  to  enforce  his  lien  therefor,  or 
shall  file  with  the  clerk  of  the  Circuit  court  of  the  county 
in  which  the  building,  erection  or  other  improvement  to 
be  charged  with  the  lien  is  situated,  against  the  owner,  a 
claim  for  lien  verified  by  the  affidavit  of  himself,  agent 
or  employee,  which  shall  consist  of  a  brief  statement  of 
the  contract,  the  date  the  same  was  made,  the  date  fixed 
therein,  or  the  time  implied,  for  completion  and  for  final 


22 


MECHANICS'  LIEN  LA  W 


payment,  and  the  date  that  the  same  was  completed,  if 
completed,  the  balance  due  after  allowing  all  credits,  and 
a  sufficiently  correct  description  of  the  lot,  lots  or  tract 
of  land  to  pass  title  thereof  by  deed  of  conveyance.  An 
itemized  account  shall  not  be  necessary,  except  for  ex- 
tras, where  the  contract  is  for  all  of  the  work  or  materials, 
or  all  of  a  specific  part  thereof  at  a  fixed  and  agreed 
price.  Such  claim  for  lien  may  be  filed  at  any  time  after 
the  contract  is  made,  and,  as  to  the  owner,  may  be 
amended  at  any  time  before  trial  or  on  the  hearing  of  a 
suit  to  enforce  the  lien,  subject  to  a  continuance,  on  ac- 
count of  such  amendment,  in  the  description  of  the  court. 
No  such  lien  shall  be  defeated  to  the  proper  amount 
thereof,  because  of  an  error  or  overcharge  on  the  part  of 
any  person  claiming  a  lien  therefor  under  this  act,  unless 
it  shall  be  shown  that  such  error  or  overcharge  was  made 
with  intent  to  defraud.  Nor  shall  any  such  lien  for  ma- 
terial be  defeated  because  of  lack  of  proof  that  the  mate- 
rial, after  the  delivery  thereof,  actually  entered  into  the 
construction  of  such  building  or  improvement:  Peo- 
vided,  it  is  shown  that  such  material  was  in  fact  in  good 
faith  delivered  at  the  place  where  said  building  or  im- 
provement was  being  constructed,  for  the  purpose  of 
being  used  in  such  construction:  And ,  provided  further, 
that  in  case  of  the  construction  of  a  number  of  buildings 
under  contract  between  the  same  parties  it  shall  be  suffi- 
cient, in  order  to  establish  such  lien.for  material,  if  it  be 
shown  that  such  material  was  in  good  faith  delivered  at 
any  one  of  said  buildings  for  the  purpose  of  being  used 
in  the  construction  of  any  one  or  all  of  such  buildings, 
and  such  lien  for  such  material  shall  attach  to  all  of  said 
buildings'  together  with  the  land  upon  which  the  same 
are  being  constructed  the  same  as  in  a  single  building  or 
improvement.

.bring  suit  to  enforce  his  lien  by  bill  or  petition  in  any 
court  of  competent  chancery  jurisdiction  in  the  county

Any  two  or  more  persons  having  liens  on  the  same  prop- 
erty may  join  in  bringing  such  suit,  setting  forth  their 
respective  rights  in  their  bill  or  petition.  If  a  suit  be 
then  pending  to  foreclose  a  mortgage  or  trust  deed,  or  to 
enforce  a  mechanic's  lien  on  the  premises,  or  any  suit 
shall  afterwards  be  instituted,  all  lien  claimants  not  made 
parties  thereto,  and  having  actual  notice  of  such  proceed- 
ings, and  all  defendant  lien  claimants  shall  file  their  suits 
to  enforce  their  liens  by  answer  to  the  bill  or  petition  in 
the  nature  of  an  intervening  petition,  and  the  same  shall 
be  taken  as  crossbills  against  all  the  parties  to  such  suit, 
and  the  said  bill  or  petition  shall  not  thereafter  be  dis- 
missed as  to  any  such  lien  claimant  or  to  the  owner  or 
owners  of  the  premises  without  the  consent  of  such  lien 
claimant.  The  complainant  or  petitioner  and  all  defend- 
ants to  such  bill  or  petition  may  contest  each  other's 


24 


MECHANICS1  LIEN  LAW 


rights  without  any  formal  issue  of  record  made  up  be- 
tween them  other  than  that  upon  the  original  bill  or  pe- 
tition, as  well  with  respect  to  the  amount  due  as  to  the 
right  to  the  benefit  of  the  lien  claimed:  Provided,  That 
if  by  such  contest  by  co-defendants  any  lien  claimant 
be  taken  by  surprise  the  court  may,  in  its  discretion  as 
to  such  claim  grant  a  continuance. 

The  court  may  render  judgment  against  any  party 
summoned  and  failing  to  appear  as  in  other  cases  of  de- 
fault. Such  suit  shall  be  commenced  or  intervening  pe- 
tition filed  within  two  years  after  final  payment  is  due 
according  to  the  terms  of  the  original  contract,  or  the 
lien  shall  be  void  as  to  all  parties. 

10.     SUITS  MAY  BE  INSTITUTED  IN  CASE  OF  DEATH. 

Suits  may  be  instituted  under  the  provisions  of  * 
this  act,  in  favor  of  administrators  or  executors,  and  may

suits  instituted  under  the  provisions  of  this  act,  the  rep- 
resentatives of  any  party  who  may  die  pending  the  suit,

of  the  contract  or  contracts  on  which  it  is  founded,  the 
dates  when  made,  to  be  completed  for  final  payment,  and 
when  completed,  if  not  completed,  why,  ^what  was  done, 
and  between  what  dates;  it  shall  also  set  forth  the  amount 
due  and  uupaid,  a  description  of  the  premises  which  are 
subject  to  the  lien,  and  such  other  facts  as  may  be  neces- 
sary to  a  full  understanding  of  the  right  of  the  parties.

part  of  the  contract  it  shall  not  be  necessary  to  set  the 
•same  out  in  the  pleadings  or  as  exhibits,  hut  the  same

of  the  proper  officer  for  service,  which  summons  shall 
issue  and  service  thereof  be  had  as  in  suits  in  chancery, 
and  when  any  defendant  resides  or  has  gone  out  of  the 
State,  or  on  due  inquiry  can  not  be  found,  or  is  concealed 
within  this  State,  so  that  process  can  not  be  served  on 
him,  the  complainant  or  petitioner  shall  cause  notice  to 
be  given  to  him  in  like  manner  and  upon  the  same  con- 
ditions as  is  provided  in  suits  in  chancery,  and  his  fail- 
ure to  so  act  with  regard  to  summons  or  notice  shall  be 
ground  for  judgment  or  decree  against  him  as  upon  the 
merits.  The  same  rule  shall  prevail  with  cross-petitioners 
with  regard  to  any  person  of  whose  interest  they  have 
•knowledge,  and  who  are  not  already  parties  to  the  suit  or 
action,  and  the  court  may,  in  its  discretion,  enter  like 
judgment  or  decree  against  any  complainant  before  it 
not  diligently  prosecuting  his  claim  to  final  judgment. 
Parties  in  interest,  within  the  meaning  of  this  act  shall 
include  persons  entitled  to  liens  thereunder  whose  claims 
are  not,  as  well  as  are  due  at  the  time  of  the  commence- 
ment of  suit,  and  such  claims  shall  be  allowed,  subject  to 
a  reduction  of  interest  from  the  date  of  judgment  to  the 
time  the  claim  is  due;  also  all  persons  who  may  have  any 
legal  or  equitable  claim  to  the  whole  or  any  part  of  the 
premises  upon  which  a  lien  may  be  attempted  to  be  en- 
forced under  the  provisions  thereof,  or  who  are  interested 
in  the  subject-matter  of  the  suit.  Any  such  persons  may, 
on  application  to  the  court  wherein  the  suit  is  pending, 


26 


MECHANICS'  LIEN  LAW 


oe  made  or  become  parties  at  any  time  before  final  judg- 
ment. No  action  or  suit  under  the  provisions  of  this  act. 
shall  be  voluntarily  dismissed  by  the  party  bringing  the 
same  without  due  notice  to  ail  parties  before  the  court, 
and  leave  of  court  upon  good  cause  shown  and  upon 
terms  named  by  the  court. 

12.     PLEADINGS — AMENDMENTS — RECEIVERS. 

For  the  purpose  of  bringing  all  parties  in  interest 
before  the  court,  the  court  shall  permit  amendments  to 
any  part  of  the  pleadings,  and  may  issue  process,  make 
all  orders  requiring  parties  to  appear,  and  requiring 
notice  to  be  given,  that  are  or  may  be  authorized  in  pro- 
ceedings in  chancery,  and  shall  have  the  same  power  and 
jurisdiction  of  the  parties  and  subject,  and  the  rules  of 
practice  and  proceedings  in  such  cases  shall  be  the  same 
as  in  other  cases  in  chancery,  except  as  is 'otherwise  pro- 
vided in  this  act.  The  court  shall  have  power  to  appoint 
receivers  for  property  on  which  liens  are  sought  to  be 
enforced  in  the  same  manner,  for  the  same  causes,  and 
for  the  same  purposes  as  in  cases  of  foreclosure  of  mort- 
gages, as  well  as  to  complete  any  incompleted  building 
where  the  same  is  deemed  to  be  to  the  best  interest  of  ail 
the  parties  interested. 

13.     PLEADINGS — ANSWER. 

Defendants  shall  answer  the  bill  or  petition  under 
oath,  unless  the  oath  is  waived  by  the  complainant  or 
petitioner,  and  the  plaintiff  shall  except  or  reply  to  the 
answer  as  though  the  proceeding  was  in  chancery.  The 
answer  shall  be  regarded  as  the  plea  of  the  defendant, 
and  by  replication  thereto  an  issue  or  issues,  shall  be 
formed,  which  shall  be  tried  by  the  court,  or  by  a  jury 


MECHANICS'  LIEN  LAW 


27 


under  the  direction  of  the  court,  as  the  court  may  direct 
or  the  parties  agree. 

The  owner  shall  be  entitled  to  make  any  defense  by 
way  of  set-off,  recoupment  or  counter-claim  that  he  could 
in  any  action  at  law  and  shall  be  entitled  to  the  same 
right  of  recovery  on  proof  of  such  in  excess  of  the  claim 
of  the  contractor,  or  any  other  party  to  the  suit,  but  for 
matters  not  growing  out  of  the  contract  such  recovery 
shall  be  without  prejudice  to  the  rights  of  the  sub-con- 
tractors thereunder  for  payment  out  of  the  contract  price 
or  fund. 

14.  WANT  OF  PREPARATION  FOE  TRIAL — ORDER  OF  SALE — ■ 

DELAY. 

In  no  case  shall  the  want  of  preparation  for  trial 
of  one  claim  delay  the  trial  in  respect  to  others,  but 
trial  shall  be  had  upon  issues  between  such  parties;  as  are 
prepared  without  reference  to  issues  between  other  par- 
ties and  when  one  creditor  shall  have  obtained  a  decree  or 
judgment  for  the  amount  due,  the  court  may  order  a  sale  of 
the  premises  on  which  the  lien  operates,  or  a  part  thereof, 
so  as  to  satisfy  the  decree  or  judgment  :  Provided,  that, 
the  court  may,  for  good  reason  shown,  delay  making  any 
order  for  sale  or  distribution  until  the  rights  of  all  par- 
ties in  interest  are  ascertained  and  settled  by  the  court. 

15.  QUESTIONS  BETWEEN    CONTRACTORS  NO  PREFERENCES. 

Upon  all  questions  arising  between  different  con- 
tractors having  liens  under  this  act  no  preference  shall 
be  given  to  him  whose  contract  was  first  made,  but  the 
claim  of  any  such  person  for  mechanical  or  other  labor 
by  him  personally  performed,  to  the  extent  of  two  week's 
wages,  shall  be  a  preferred  lien  to  an  amount  equal  to  ten 
per  cent,  of  the  proportionate  value  of  the  entire  work 
completed  up  to  the  date  of  the  last  day's  work  of  such 
labor.

16.     INCUMBRANCES.  . 

No  incumbrance  upon  land,  created  before  or  after 
the  making  of  the  contract  under  the  provisions  of  this 
act,  shall  operate  upon  the  building  erected,  or  materials, 
fixtures,  apparatus  or  machinery  furnished  for  erecting 
or  improving  the  same,  until  the  lien  in  favor  of  the 
person  doing  the  work  or  furnishing  the  materials,  fix- 
tures, apparatus  or  machinery  shall  have  been  satisfied, 
and  upon  questions  arising  between  different  incum- 
brances and  lien  creditors,  the  previous  incumbrance 
shall  be  preferred  to  the  extent  of  the  value  of  the  land  at 
the  time  of  making  the  contract,  the  lien  creditors  to  the 
extent  of  the  market  value  the  same  is  enhanced  by  rea- 
son of  the  improvements,  and  the  court  shall  ascertain, 
by  jury  or  otherwise,  as  the  case  may  require,  what  pro- 
portion of  the  proceeds  of  the  sale  shall  be  paid  to  the 
several  parties  in  interest. 

Where  after  a  trust  deed  or  mortgage  has  been  re- 
corded, contracts  shall  be  made  for  the  improvement  of 
the  property,  and  the  owner  shall  pay  for  labor  or  mate- 
rial in  such  improvement,  the  enhanced  value  thereby 
given  shall  be  treated  as  a  fund  in  which  the  mortgagee 
and  lien^holder  shall  participate  pro  rata.  - 

Any  incumbrance,  whether  by  mortgage,  judgment,  or 
otherwise,  charged  and  shown  to  be  fraudulent,  in  respect 
to  creditors,  may  be  set  aside  by  the  court,  and  the  prem- 
ises made  subject  to  the  claim  of  the  complainant  or  oe- 
titioner,  freed  and  discharged  from  such  fraudulent  in- 
cumbrance.

MECHANICS'  LIEN  LAW 


29 


portion  the  amount  of  the  lien  and  costs  on  each  house 
and  lot  according  to  the  value  thereof,  and  direct  the  sale 
of  each  house  and  lot  separately  to  satisfy  the  amount  of 
the  lien  and  costs  apportioned  against  it,  and  if  the  same 
shall  not  sell  for  sufficient  to  pay  such  amount,  shall  or- 
der the  deficiency  paid  out  of  the  surplus  proceeds  of  the 
sale  of  any  other  of  said  houses  and  lots  covered  by 
such  lien. 

18.     COSTS  OF  PROCEEDINGS — ATTORNEY'S  FEE. 

The  costs  of  proceedings,  as  between  all  parties  to 
the  suit,  shall  be  taxed  equitably  against  the  losing  par- 
ties, and  where  taxed  against  more  than  one  party,  shall 
be  so  taxed  against  all  in  favor  of  the  proper  party,  but 
equitably  as  between  themselves  ;  and  the  costs,  as  be- 
tween creditors  aforesaid  in  contests  relative  to  each 
other's  claims,  shall  be  subject  to  the  order  of  the  court, 
and  the  same  rule  shall  prevail  in  respect  to  costs  grow- 
ing out  of  the  proceedings  against  and  between  incum- 
brances. In  all  cases  where  liens  are  enforced,  a  fee  of 
•  five  dollars  shall  be  taxed  for  filing  the  claim  for  lien,  and 
the  court  shall  order  a  reasonable  attorney's  fee,  not  ex- 
ceeding ten  per  cent,  taxed  as  part  of  the  costs,  in  favor 
of  the  claimant,  and  where  the  same  are  defeated  in  favor 
of  the  owner. 

19.     SALE  OF  PREMISES  IN  SUOH  CASES  HOW  MADE. 

Whatever  right  or  estate  such  owner  had  in  the

20.     OOUBT  TO   DIRECT   THE   APPLICATION   OF  PROCEEDS  OF 
SALE. 

The  court  shall  ascertain  the  amount  due  each  lien 
creditor  and  shall  direct  the  application  of  the  proceeds 
of  sale  to  be  made  to  each  in  proportion  to  their  several 
amounts,  according  to  the  provisions  of  this  act,  except 
that  in  the  payment  of  mechanic's  lien  claims,  the  claims 
of  laborers,  who  are  contractors  under  ,this  act,  to  the  ex- 
tent of  two  week's  wages,  shall  be  first  paid,  after  that

pay  the  claims  of  all  parties,  according  to  their  rights, 
the  decree  shall  be  credited  by  the  amount  of  said  sale, 
and  execution  may  issue  in  favor  of  any  creditor  whose 
claim  is  not  satisfied  for  the  balance  due,  as  upon  a  defi- 
ciency decree  in  the  foreclosure  of  a  mortgage  in  chance-

estate  and  other  property  of  the  party  against  whom  it  is 
entered,  to  the  same  extent  and  under  the  same  limita- 
tions as  a  judgment  at  law,  and  in  case  of  excess  of  sales 
over  the  amount  of  the  decree,  such  excess  shall  be  paid 
to  the  owner  of  the  land,  or  to  the  person  who  may  be 
entitled  to  the  same  under  the  direction  of  the  court.

22.     EIGHTS   OF    CONTRACTOR  AND  SUBCONTRACTOR  DEFINED. 

Every  mechanic,  workman  or  other  person  who 
shall  in  pursuance  of  the  purposes  of  the  original  con- 
tract furnish  any  materials  apparatus,  machinery,  or  fix- 
tures, or  furnish  or  perform  services  or  labor  for  the  con- 
tractor, shall  be  known  under  this  act  as  a  subcontractor, 
and  shall  have  a  lien  for  the  value  thereof,  with  interest 
on  such  amount  from  the  date  the  same  is  due,  in  the 
same  manner,  from  the  same  time,  on  the  same  property 
and  to  the  same  extent  as  is  herein  provided  for  the  con- 
tractor, and  also,  as  against  the  creditors  of  the  con- 
tractor, on  the  materials,  fixtures,  apparatus  or  ma- 
chinery furnished,  and  on  the  money  or  other  considera- 
tion due  or  to  become  due  from  the  owner  under  the 
original  contract.  But  the  aggregate  of  all  the  liens 
hereby  authorized -shall  not  exceed  the  price  stipulated  in 
the  original  contract  between  such  owner  and  the  con- 
tractor for  such  improvements,  except  as  hereinafter  pro- 
vided. In  no  case,  except  as  hereinafter  provided,  shall 
the  owner  be  compelled  to  pay  a  greater  sum  for  or  on 
account  of  such  house,  building  or  other  improvements 
than  the  price  or  sum  stipulated  in  said  original  contract 
or  agreement,  unless  payment  be  made  to  the  contractor, 
or  to  his  order,  in  violation  of.  the  rights  anddnterests  of 
the  persons  intended  to  be  benefited  by  this  act:  Pro- 
vided, if  it  shall  appear  to  the  court  that  the  owner  and 
contractor  fraudulently  and  for  the  purpose  of  defraud- 
ing subcontractors,  fixed  an  unreasonably  low  price  in 
their  original  contract  for  the  erection  or  repairing  of 
such  building,  then  the  court  shall  ascertain  how  much  of 
a  difference  exists  between  a  fair  price  for  the  labor  and 
materials  used  in  said  building  or  other  improvements 
and  the  sum  named  in  said  original  contract,  and  said 
difference  shall  be  considered  a  part  of  the  contract  and

MECHANICS'  LIEN  LAW 


be  subject  to  a  lien,  but  in  no  case  shall  the  contractor's 
time  or  profits  be  secured  by  this  lien,  only  so  far  as  the 
sum  named  in  the  original  contract  or  agreement.  But 
where  the  contractor's  statement,  made  as  provided  in 
section  five  (5)  shows  the  amount  to  be  paid  to  the  sub- 
contractor, or  party  furnishing  material ;  or  the  sub-con- 
tractor's statement,  made  pursuant  to  section  twenty- 
three  (23),  shows  the  amount  to  become  due  for  material ; 
or  notice  is  given  to  the  owner,  as  provided  in  sections1 
twenty-five  (25)  and  twenty-six  (26),  and  thereafter  such 
subcontract  shall  be  performed,  or  material  to  the  value 
of  the  amount  named  in  such  statements  or  notice,  shall 
be  prepared  for  use  and  delivery,  or  delivered,  without 
written  protest  on  the  part  of  the  owner  previous  to 
such  performance,  or  delivery,  or  preparation  for  deliv- 
ery, then,  and  in  any  of  such  cases,  such  sub-contractor 
or  party  furnishing  or  preparing  material  regardless  of 
the  price  named  in  the  original  contract  shall  have  a  lien 
therefor  to  the  extent  of  the  amount  named  in  such  state- 
ments or  notice.  Also,  in  such  cases,  and  in  case  of  like 
default  by  the  contractor,  the  sub-contractor  or  party 
furnishing  or  preparing  material,  shall  have  and  may  en- 
force his  lien  to  the  same  extent  and  in  the  same  manner 
that  the  contractor  may  Under  conditions  that  arise  as 
provided  fot  in  section  four  of  this  act,  and  shall  have 
and  may  exercise  the  same  rights  as  are  therein  provided 
for  the  contractor,  and  when  the  contractor  shall  have 
failed  to  perform  and  abandoned  his  part  of  the  contract, 
the  sub-contractors  and  material  men,  or  any  of  them, 
shall  have  the  right  to  complete  the  same,  and  shall  be 
entitled  to  a  reasonable  compensation  therefor,  in  pro- 
portion to  the  price  stipulated  for  the  whole,  and  the 
court  shall  adjust  their  claims  accordingly.

Whenever,  after  a  contract  has  been  made  the  con- 
tractor shall  associate  one  or  more  persons  as  partners 
or  joint  contractors  in  carrying  out  the  same  or  any  part 
thereof,  the  lien  for  materials  or  labor  furnished  by  a 
sub-contractor  to  such  contractor  and  his  partners  or  as- 
sociates, as  originally  agreed  upon,  shall  continue  the 
same  as  if  the  sub-contract  had  been  made  with  all  of 
said  parties.  When  the  contractor  shall  sublet  his  con- 
tract or  a  specific  portion  thereof,  to  a  subcontractor, 
the  party  furnishing  material  to  or  performing  any  labor 
for  such  subcontractor,  shall  have  a  lien  therefor  to  the 
extent  of  the  sum  to  be  paid  to  the  subcontractor  who 
purchases  material  from  or  employs  him,  and  may  en- 
force his  lien  in  the  same  manner  as  is  herein  provided 
for  the  enforcement  of  liens  by  subcontractors. 

Any  subcontractor  shall,  as  often  as  requested  in  wri- 
ting by  the  owner  or  contractor,  or  the  agent  of  either, 
make  out  and  give  to  such  owner,  contractor  or  agent  a 
statement  of  the  persons  furnishing  material,  giving 
their  names,  and  how  much,  if  anything  is  due  or  to  be- 
come due  to  each  of  them,  and  when  the  same  became 
1  or  will  become  due,'  which  statement  shall  be  made  under 
\  oath,  if  required.  If  any  subcontractor  shall  fail  to  fur- 
nish such  statement  within  five  (5)  days  after  such  de- 
mand, he  shall  forfeit  to  such  owner  or  contractor  the 
sum  of  fifty  dollars  ($50)  for  every  offense,  which  may  be 
recovered  in  an  action  of  debt  before  a  justice  of  the 
peace,  and  shall  have  no  right  of  action  against  either 
owner  or  contractor  until  he  shall  furnish  such  statement, 
and  the  lien  of  such  subcontractor  shall  be  subject  to  the 
liens  of  all  other  creditors.

such  contractor,  of  his  claim  by  a  written  notice  and  the 
full  particulars  thereof.  It  shall  be  the  duty  of  such  offi- 
cials so  notified  to  withhold  a  sufficient  amount  to  pay 
such  claim  until  it  is  admitted,  or  by  law  established,  and 
thereupon  to  pay  the  amount  thereof  to  such  person  and 
such  payment  shall  be  a  credit  on  the  contract  price  to 
to  be  paid  to  such  contractor. 

Any  officer  violating  the  duty  hereby  imposed  upon 
him  shall  be  liable  on  his  official  bond  to  the  person  serv- 
ing such  notice  for  the  damages  resulting  from  such  vio- 
lation, which  may  be  recovered  in  an  action  at  law  in  any 
court  of  competent  jurisdiction.  There  shall  be  no  pref- 
erence between  the  persons  serving  such  notice,  but  all 
shall  be  paid  pro  rata  in  proportion  to  the  amount  due 
under  their  respective  contracts.

improvement,  and  his  claim  shall  be  a  lien  as  against 
the  owner  from  the  date  of  the  service  of  such  notice,  so 
far  as  the  owner  may  be  indebted  to  the  contractor  at 
1  that  time,  or  may  become  indebted  to  him  as  such  con- 
tractor thereafter. 

Where  such  written  contract  by  reference  makes  the 
plans  and  specifications  of  Che  original  contract  part 
thereof,  it  shall  not  be  necessary  to  serve  a  copy  of  such 
plans  or  specifications  with  the  notice.

all  damages  in  consequence  of  such  failure,  which  may  be 
recovered  in  an  action  at  law  in  any  court  of  competent 
jurisdiction:  ,  Provided,  such  notice  shall  not  be*  neces- 
'  sary  where  the  sworn  statement  of  the  contractor  or  sub- 
I       contractor  provided  for  herein  shall  serve  to  give  the 
f        owner  true  notice  of  the  amount  due,  and  to  whom  due, 
but  where  such  statement  is  incorrect  as  to  the  amount, 
the  subcontractor  or  materialman  named  shall  be  pro- 
tected to  the  extent  of  the  amount  named  therein  as  due 
or  to  become  due  to  him.

vided in  this  act  he  shall  retain  from  any  money  due  or 
to  become  due  the  contractor  an  amount  sufficient  to  pay 
all  demands  that  are  or  will  become  due  such  subcon-

of  whose  claim  he  is  notified,  and  shall  pay  over  the  same 
to  the  persons  entitled  thereto,  as  the  same  becomes  due. 
Such  payment  shall  be  as  follows  : 

First  :  All  claims  for  mechanical  or  other  labor  to  the 
extent  of  two  weeks'  wages,  of  which  notice  has-  been

to  the  amount  due  them  respectively. 

All  payments  made  as  directed  shall,  as  between  such 
owner  and  contractor,  be  considered  the  same  as  if  paid 
to  such  contractor.  Any  payment  made  by  the  owner  to 
the  contractor  after  such  notice,  without  retaining  suffi- 
cient money  to  pay  such  claims,  shall  be  considered  ille- 
gal, and  made  in  violation  of  the  rights  of  the  subcon- 
tractors and  the  rights  of  such  sub-contractors  to  a  lien 
shall  not  be  affected  thereby,  but  the  owner  shall  not  be

or  within  ten  days  after  his  claim  for  lien  is  filed,  as 
provided  in  section  twenty^six  (26),  or  on  the  date  the 
same  is  shown  to  be  due  by  the  contractor's  statement 
made,  as  provided  in  section  five  (5),  and  any  money 
shall  then  be  due  from  such  owner  to  the  contractor,  then 
such  person  may  either  file  his  petition  and  enforce  his 
lien  as  heretofore  provided  for  the  contractor  in  sections 
nine  (9)  to  twenty-one  (21),  inclusive,  of  this  act,  except 
as  to  the  time  within  which  suit  shall  be  brought,  or  he 
may  sue  the  owner  or  contractor  jointly  for  the  amount 
due  him,  in  any  court  having  jurisdiction  of  the  amount 
claimed  to  be  due,  and  a  personal  judgment  may  be  ren- 
dered therein  as  in  other  cases.  In  such  actions  at  law 
as  in  suits  to  enforce  the  lien,  the  owner  shall  be  liable 
to  the  complainant  for  no  more  than  the  pro  rata  share 
that  such  person  would  be  entitled  to  with  other  sub- 
contractors  out  of  the  funds  due  to  the  contractor  from 
the  owner  under  the  contract  between  them,  and  such  ac-

both  contractor  and  owner  jointly,  and  no  decree  or 
judgment  shall  be  rendered  herein  until  both  are  duly, 
brought  before  the  court  by  process  or  publication.  All 
such  Judgments,  where  the  lien  is  established,  shall  be 
against  both  jointly,  but  shall  be  enforced  against  the 
owner  only  to  the  extent  that  he  is  liable  under  his  con- 
tract as  by  this  act  provided,  and  shall  recite  the  date 
from  which  the  lien  thereof  attached  according  to  the 
provisions  of  sections  one  (1)  and  twenty-two  (22)  of  this 
act;  but  this  act  shall  not  preclude  a  judgment  against

execution  issued  thereon  as  in  other  cases,  except  that 
the  lien  of  the  same  shall  be  preserved  as  a  preferred  lien 
on  the  property  improved  from  the  date  recited  in  the 
judgment  and  enforced  thereon  the  same  as  if  a  de-

son having  such  a  lien  shall  fear  that  there  is  not  a  suffi- 
cient amount  coming  to  the  contractor  to  pay  all  such 
liens,  such  owner  or  any  one  or  more  persons  having  such 
lien  may' file  his  or  their  sworn  bill  or  petition  in  the 
circuit  court  of  the  proper  county,  stating  such  fact  and 
such  other  facts. as  may  be  sufficient  to  a  full  understand-
